See, our first mistake was trying to have a civilization in northern Europe between October and February. The darkest three months of the year should be for staying home under the blankets, midwinter festivals, and getting blind drunk when the sun goes down at 4 pm like the bog gods intended.

Not to mention that he apparently just so happened to carry a manifesto with him that gave motive and motivation. Absolute bogus

so you're telling me that the man who left fake clues and just vanished after shooting the guy also waltzed into a mcdonalds in broad daylight 4 days later still carrying the murder weapon? bitch that is not your guy. nypd is obviously framing an innocent man to make an example out of so they can put this case to bed quickly, avoid looking completely incompetent, and shut down the conversation this whole ordeal has started. lemme guess they're gonna try him in like 3 days and then dump 5 life sentences on him.

I think about Sukimamori a lot.

Sukimamori (sukima = gap, yamori = gecko, mamori/mori = guardian) is a youkai created by Japan Railways West, Osaka Municipal College of Design and Osaka Metropolitan University for an awareness campaign to warn small kids (and their parents) to "mind the gap" and not fall between the train and the platform.

It dwells in the gap between train and platform (appearing when the gap is created) and is 14 meters long. It likes people who board carefully, eclairs (it kind of looks like one), and gaps, and dislikes people who board carelessly or run on the platform. Despite being a little scary, it's actually helpful and wants to stop kids from falling in. Most of all, the campaign itself - titled the mouthful yet delightfully vague Children Falling Into Gaps Prevention Project - is supposed to be attention-grabbing in order to remind people that this is a thing that can happen.

Yeah, well. Mission successful.

"Don't show any gaps in your defense", the slogan goes.

One or two of these traits could be a coincidence, but I want to believe that the specific combination of a 1.) purple youkai that 2.) lives in the gaps at 3.) train stations with 4.) prominent hand and eye imagery couldn't have been designed in a complete vacuum from Touhou. Certainly that's a pretty harmless thing to believe in. And not a hard connection to make.

In the end, though, Sukimamori just stands out to me because I really like this creature in its own right.

My controversial take about pronouns: Singular they should take singular verbs. This area of grammar is actively evolving since the emergence of the non-binary movement, consider themselves/themself. The standard usage is not settled. There's time to fix this!

Bruce uses he/him. He goes to the store. Q uses they/them. They goes to the store as well. Bruce and Q meet along the way. They go to the store together. I'm there too - we all go to the store.
